ROY ROUT As
a child I was terrified of dogs, in particular my aunts Pekingese who liked
to take a bite from my ankle whenever I visited. My fear continued until as
a young teenager a Pembroke corgi, owned by my the girlfriend, now my wife
Jacky, decided if I was to intrude in her and his life then I would have to
swallow my fear and sucumbe to his lovely nature, I could not resist and
love of both Jacky and her dog flourished. After marriage and the birth of
our two sons we decided to purchase a family dog and went for a Labrador
retriever only to find on our way home with the puppy we found that both our
sons and myself suffered from an allergic reaction to the puppy's fur and
had to return him, a disappointment all round. At Christmas 1971 I brought
home a stray Irish setter and over the festive season discovered none of us
were affected by the texture of the dogs coat, the dogs owner was found in
the following week and much to our sorrow returned to his home. This had
changed our lives and as January was both Jacky and my sons birthday I
treated them to a puppy Irish setter. Normal family life continued until the
puppy was about eighteen months old when I found that my work colleagues
swedish girlfriend showed wire haired fox terriers, we decided to go and see
a local show, enjoyed it and decided to enter the next show in the area with
our setter. Who and behold we achieved a minor place card and we were hooked.
Shortly after we moved home and the dog was unfamiliar with the location and
one evening whilst Jacky was out excreting him we found out about the Irish
setter and his love of free running, needless to say he ran off never to be
seen again, we had been bitten by the show bug and three months later
purchased litter brother and sister puppies Collorne Adonis and Collorne
Andromeda. The dog Adonis went on to top championship honours, the bitch
Andromeda when mated to U.K. Sh.ch. Wistavon Patrick produced our first
UK.Sh.ch. Shaytell Goldfinch, to all the family the love our lives. In the
ensuing years we continued to have several litters from the progeny of
Goldfinch and Andromeda and in so doing achieved top honours with the likes
of Shaytell Love Hurts, Shaytell The Owlsla,Shaytell Dancing Eyes and
Shaytell Tenor, indeed all of the Irish setters we have bred and owned have
received Crufts qualifications and to our pleasure both Goldfinch and Sh.ch
Shaytell Andante received reserve challenge certificates at Crufts. My first
of many championship judging appointments was in the Uk in 1988 and I have
had the honour of judging championship shows on several occasions in
Holland, Germany ,Austria and Finland. To be asked to return to Austria to
judge again is an absolute privilege, I look forward to seeing you again.
